Structure, Not Design

Design allows variation.

It adapts.
It adjusts.
It responds to preference.

Structure does not.

A structure is defined before it is seen.

It is not shaped by appearance.
It is not refined by opinion.

It exists as a set of exact relationships.

Design can be changed without consequence.

Structure cannot.

If a design is altered, it becomes different.
If a structure is altered, it stops being what it is.

AERION ORB is not designed.

It is constructed through structure.

Each element is placed within a defined position.
Each proportion exists in relation to another.

Nothing is added for balance.
Balance is the result of definition.

This is not an arrangement.

It is a construction.
